BTW do you _really_ think the rioters in Afghanistan are rioting just over Quarans being burned? I mean, you do know something about recent Afghani history with the US military, right?

It does seem pretty common for the media to take these incidents as isolated and out of context. That’s not me being a liberal trying to be pluralistic, that’s me trying to have an accurate understanding of the facts.

I can’t give you a list of every country involved, but to name two examples, rioting over the Muhammad cartoons and the craziness over _The Satanic Verses_ were widespread.

No, I don’t think it’s just about the Qurans.
